Abstract:
Submitted is a modular stationary portable photovoltaic solar powered electrical generation, storage and supply device and light tower. The device consists of an elongated cube or rectangular prism shaped support structure with a flat base, flat sides and a flat decked top to form a protective crate shaped module when the various components, such as the solar panel arrays, telescoping mast, and light assembly or outriggers of the device are retracted to where the boundaries may be defined by the perimeters of the cube or prism. This modular design can allow for the modules to be stored, loaded, or shipped quickly, efficiently, and in greater quantities on flatbeds, in shipping containers, in warehouses, and other settings and modes where they can not only be packed end to end and side to side with no unused space, but can also be stacked up to three modules high for significantly higher storage density.The interconnectivity of multiple modules to create incrementally larger power generation, storage and distribution systems provides an easily adaptable solution to larger temporary power demands.
